Cut the pork loin into thin strips and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the pork strips and sauté until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the pork and place it on a plate.
Chop the onion, mince the garlic cloves, and slice the carrots, celery, and red bell pepper.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic, carrots, celery, red bell pepper, and grated ginger. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour the chicken broth into the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the soy sauce, stirring well.
Return the cooked pork to the pot and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
While the soup is simmering, cook the dried egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
After the soup has simmered, add the cooked noodles and fresh spinach to the pot. Stir to combine and let them heat through for about 3 minutes.
Slice the scallions and add them to the soup. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Drizzle sesame oil over the soup, give it a final stir, and serve hot.
